No help for you. But have fun, it'd be a laugh, especially if there are other similar bikes there so you have some competition!
Actually I've got some advice. Don't flip it!

Sage advice
That's why I was thinking full fuel, for a bit of extra weight at the front end. They do say they run similar machines together so hoping for a 600 class.
I can always out-drag my mate on his Gsxr6 away from the lights. Of course it may just be that he's a spaz on the clutch. I'm also hoping the shorter distance gives the Fazers strength, i.e. a strong midrange a bit of and advantage.

If I were closer I'd certainly be up for it ..... but on the Tiger. I can get that away far quicker than the Fazer and have had some decent scalps. Never done a 1/8 mile but managed a decent 10.72 on the stock Tiger over a 1/4 mile.

You don't say where it is.
My Friend and I used to run these sidecars at a few events. 11 - 13 sec 1/4 miles
and this

Its on a private track on the outskirts of Exeter
I went through the timestamp on the vid and the GSR ran 0-100 in 7.6 seconds and the 1/4 mile in 12.3 @119mph
I was
whoever was on the Fazer was a bit faster than that. You can see it pull away as it hits third. the 1/4 mile mark is about 10 feet past the first bridge.

Seems hard to believe you out dragged a GSXR600! I used to have one of the first (srad) ones & it did about 70 in first! The fazer feels way slower in comparison although the power is not dissimilar, the Suzuki revved a lot quicker.
